I did it

CeeCeeSugaPie · February 2016

I powered through steel-cut vegan oatmeal this morning. I just figured it was worth AWing myself. I hate oatmeal, but I have been trying to eat healthier. I made it in the crockpot last night with apples, cinnamon, and chopped dates (for a little sweetness). Next up, vegan pad thai for lunch and lentil & walnut burgers for dinner.

Your oatmeal sounds delicious.

It was kind of bland, so I may add a little agave nectar this time. Recipe is below if you're interested. DS gobbled it up like it was ice cream.

I always think about making crockpot oats, but then I never seem to find the motivation for anything but instant. Yours sounds delish.

I love oatmeal. I tried a crockpot one awhile ago that I felt like the whole internet raved about. It was horribly bland. I hear you on on trying to eat healthier. I just can't seem to eat my oatmeal without brown sugar, though I think I'll try a few more recipes before I give up entirely.

I like oatmeal but end up with a big tub of 1 to 3 minute. I don't mind plain oatmeal, but I've been trying to add fruit like bananas or blueberries and strawberries to add more excitement. I need to really buckle down on eating better, I had a terrible food weekend and feel like I have a stomach bug today, but I know it's just my body getting back at me.

Do you like Cheerios? Those also have whole grain. My dad mixes a few frosted mini-wheats in with Cheerios to make them less bland. Bananas go really well with Cheerios too.

Lately I've been enjoying either apple slices or celery sticks with natural peanut butter for breakfast. It's really good and keeps you full until lunch.

I do love Cheerios with strawberries! I don't like bananas unless the are mixed in smoothie or banana bread. It's a texture thing.

That is very similar to what I made, minus the maple syrup.

I like that it has almond milk because regular milk and I don't get along so well.

I've been trying to avoid dairy as much as possible. I have seen a real difference in my skin. The hardest part has been avoiding cheese, which is usually my go-to snack. I also haven't found a good alternative to 1/2 & 1/2 in my coffee. I've tried the almond and soy versions and just can't do it. I don't drink coffee that often though.

The coffee thing is horrible! I use Bailey's creamers, and mostly they're just chemicals (though fewer than Coffeemate and International Delights) but everything else I've tried is just awful!
